Ectothiorhodospiraceae
The Ectothiorhodospiraceae are a family of purple sulfur bacteria, distinguished by producing sulfur globules outside of their cells.George M. Garrity: ''Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology''. 2. Auflage. Springer, New York, 2005, Volume 2: ''The Proteobacteria, Part B: The Gammaproteobacteria'' The cells are rod-shaped, vibrioid, or spirilla, and they are able to move using flagella A flagellum (; ) is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility. Many protists with flagella are termed as flagellates. A microorganism may have f .... In general, they are marine and prefer anaerobic conditions. Ectothiorhodospiraceae are a vibrio bacteria that require salty living conditions to survive and grow: classifying them as slightly halophilic. Like all purple sulfur bacteria, they are capable of photosynthesis. To complete this energy process, Sulfur compounds are used as electron ...

Purple Sulfur Bacteria
The purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) are part of a group of Pseudomonadota capable of photosynthesis, collectively referred to as purple bacteria. They are anaerobic or microaerophilic, and are often found in stratified water environments including hot springs, stagnant water bodies, as well as microbial mats in intertidal zones.Hunter, C.N., Daldal, F., Thurnauer, M.C., Beatty, J.T"The Purple Phototropic Bacteria" '' Springer-Dordrecht'', 2008. Unlike plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, purple sulfur bacteria do not use water as their reducing agent, and therefore do not produce oxygen. Instead, they can use sulfur in the form of sulfide, or thiosulfate (as well, some species can use H2, Fe2+, or NO2−) as the electron donor in their photosynthetic pathways. The sulfur is oxidized to produce granules of elemental sulfur. This, in turn, may be oxidized to form sulfuric acid. The purple sulfur bacteria are largely divided into two families, the Chromatiaceae and the Ectothio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Thioalkalivibrio
''Thioalkalivibrio'' is a Gram-negative, mostly halophilic bacterial genus of the family Ectothiorhodospiraceae. Occurrence In the last decade, several species of ''Thioalkalivibrio'' have been discovered, but these chemolithoautotrophic, haloalkaliphilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria had only been found in soda lakes in alkaline and saline habitats. However, Sorokin and colleagues in 2012 isolated and grew out a novel ''Thioalkalivibrio sulfidiphilus, strain HL-EbGr7T,'' from a full-scale wastewater bioreactor after the hydrogen sulfide gas had been removed/ Structure The ''Thioalkalivibrio sulfidiphilus strain HL-EbGr7T'' cells is long, slender, slightly curved, rod-shaped bacteria with a polar flagellum for motility. It has a gram-negative cell wall and the colonies are up to 2 mm in diameter. Genetics ''Thioalkalivibrio sulfidiphilus strain HL-EbGr7T'' is closely related to ''Thioalkalivibrio denitrificans'' within the Gammaproteobacteria based on 16S rRNA gen ...
